I need the API to fetch the top selling books on Amazon. By default it only fetches the top 10 items, but I need more than 10, near about 1000 items content by using single
To get the 100 bestselling books you have to specify the ItemPage
parameter:
http://ecs.amazonaws.com/onca/xml?
Service=AWSECommerceService&
AWSAccessKeyId=[AWS Access Key ID]&
Operation=ItemSearch&
BrowseNode=17&
SearchIndex=Books&
ItemPage=2
&Sort=salesrank
&Timestamp=[YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ]
&Signature=[Request Signature]
Problem: The maximum ItemPage number that can be returned is 10. So you cant get past 100 books.
Reference: http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AWSECommerceService/latest/DG/index.html?ItemSearch.html
Using previous comment, I scrap from DOM of documentation for IN this categories:

here's how I do it - but it won't work for more than 100 items after the end of this month as Amazon are limiting ItemPage to 10.
rescheck = Amazon::Ecs.item_search("search term here", :response_group => 'Large', :country => 'uk')
n=0
rescheck.total_pages.times do |n|
n=n+1
if n <= rescheck.total_pages
res = Amazon::Ecs.item_search("search term here", :response_group => 'Large', :item_page =>n, :country => 'uk')
res.items.each do |item|
asin = item.get('ASIN')
title = item.get('ItemAttributes/Title')
brand = item.get('ItemAttributes/Brand')
